News and Notes - This season, tournament seeding will be decided by the top eight teams in terms of conference record, regardless of divisional affiliation. - Opening weekend will see a few SWAC squads test their mettle against formidable out-of-conference competition, as Grambling State has dates with Tulane and Southern Miss. Prairie View A&M appears to have the marquee matchup of the weekend, as it will take on Power 5 and Big 12 opponent Baylor in invitational action. - In 2015, Alabama A&M’s Ashundria McNeal was fourth in the nation in total kills with 612. Her 4.50 kills-per-set average ranked her in the top 15 of the country, and her 701 total points was thirdbest nationally while her 1573 total attacks placed her fifth. - It has been 10 years since a team from the Western Division went on to win the Southwestern Athletic Conference Volleyball Tournament. Prairie View A&M was last to accomplish the feat, beating Mississippi Valley in the finals and ultimately ending a run of six straight titles for Alabama A&M. Coincidentally enough, Alabama A&M’s first championship win in 2000 was also the first title for a team in the Eastern Division. The Lady Bulldogs defeated defending champion Prairie View A&M in the finals that year. - Alcorn State welcomes a not-so-unfamiliar face to the sidelines as Chelsey Lucas-Nichols has been tabbed as the newest head coach of the Lady Braves. Lucas-Nichols is no stranger to the SWAC, as she was an all-conference performer for Grambling State during the mid 2000s and was the 2006 SWAC Defensive Player of the Year. - Texas Southern coach Jocelyn Adams could make history this season, pending strong campaigns by her respective team. If TSU is able to win its first title since 1994, Adams would become the first coach in league history to guide two different teams to the championship. Adams led Prairie View A&M to its first-ever league crown in 1992.

Southwestern Athletic Conference | Teams At A Glance Key Returners: OH Ashundria McNeal, MB Courtney Oliver, S Riley Balsmeyer
Key Returners: S Kori Kutsch, DS/L Jamie Coleman, MB Briana Dorsey
Preseason Prediction: 4th in Conference (110 pts)
Preseason Prediction: 2nd in Conference (154 pts)
Season Outlook: The Lady Bulldogs return 2015 Player of the Year in McNeal, who led the league in kills (611) and points (701) and ranks among the top in the nation in said categories. AAMU needs a complementary attacker alongside McNeal, The top candidate for a leap forward appears to be Courtney Oliver. The Lady Bulldogs must also address the loss of Megan Butler, who led the SWAC in assists three years running.
Season Outlook: Alabama State enters the season having to withstand the loss of several key contributors. Briana Dorsey looks set to be the top attacker for the Lady Hornets. 2016 Preseason Defensive Player of the Year pick and preseason firstteam libero Jamie Coleman looks poised to anchor the Alabama State defense. 2016 preseason first-team setter Kori Kutsch returns as an experienced director offensively.
Key Returners: OH Lurlethia Jones, OH/DS Taylor Scriven, S Leticia Gonzalez, S Sydney Mellom, L/DS Carol Kiam-Assato
Key Returners: RS Maya Lucas, RS/OH Kevreion Ward, MB Desiree Bishop, DS/L Alleeyah Hensley
Preseason Prediction: 8th in Conference (59 pts)
Preseason Prediction: 9th in Conference (56 pts)
Season Outlook: The Lady Braves improved by four wins last year and appear to have the benefit of returning virtually every significant contributor to the court in 2016. From a statistical standpoint, Alcorn State was one of the better defensive units in the league in 2015. The team’s one glaring loss to address is the departure of 2015 SWAC Freshman of the Year Kalee Maricle, who led the team in total points (332), kills (229) and blocks (112).
Season Outlook: There should be a lot of familiar faces around campus as Grambling State is expected to return almost the entirety of the 2015 roster. Leading the attack for Grambling State will be Maya Lucas, Desiree Bishop and Kevreion Ward. Alleeyah Hensley returns as a solid defensive presence as well, but the loss of stat-stuffer Kiara Finley looms large as she posted 319 assists, 213 digs and 145 kills last season.
Key Returners: MB/RS Kianna Shelton, DS/L Tyler Moorer, OH/ DS Markayshia Masani, OH/RS Tamisha Barry
Key Returners: OPP Marissa Chalmers, MB/OPP Cynthia Richardson, OH Megan Jones, L Kaylin Barnes, S Brooklyn Hudson
Preseason Prediction: 1st in Conference (160 pts) Season Outlook: If Jackson State is to finish atop the standings as expected, must replicate its dominant front-line production from last season. The cupboard won’t be bare, however, as the defending champion returns three starters as well as secondteam All-SWAC libero Tyler Moorer. Up front, expectations have been raised for Markayshia Masani and preseason first-team middle hitter/blocker Kianna Shelton.
Preseason Prediction: 10th in Conference (50 pts) Season Outlook: Mississippi Valley State will be leaning on an newly-experienced core in 2016, as eight freshmen suited up in all, with Marissa Chalmers, Megan Jones and Kaylin Barnes finding themselves atop the team leaderboard in several categories. Set to anchor things from a leadership standpoint are senior Cynthia Richardson and junior Brooklyn Hudson.
Key Returners: Randi Hunter, MoKeysha Shanklin, Calli Jordan Hensch, Sydney Walker, Paige Chuidian
Key Returners: DS/L Diamond Williams, OH Melodie Malone, MB Shauntia Carr, S Vaterra Calais, MB/RS Paige Hall
Preseason Prediction: 6th in Conference (99 pts)
Preseason Prediction: 5th in Conference (106 pts)
Season Outlook: Prairie View A&M enters 2016 as perhaps the dark horse of the SWAC. 2015 saw several impact performances by first-year Lady Panthers, and leading the way this year is 2016 second-team preseason honoree Randi Hunter. While the Lady Panthers have considerable depth and youth and appear to be in good shape for seasons to come, the top area of concern is finding a new setter as long-time anchor Ana Kiso has graduated.
Season Outlook: The Jaguars led all teams with four preseason all-conference picks, highlighted by two of the best at their respective positions in Diamond Williams and Melodie Malone. Big things are expected from preseason second-team pick and sophomore Paige Hall and senior Shauntia Carr and they could go a long way in determining the Jaguars’ fortunes this season. Setter Vaterra Calais looks to build on a promising freshman year.
Key Returners: MB Kali Fluke, OH Audriana Carson, S Asia Howard, OH Nicole Robinson, S Chelsea Thompson, MB Ashlynn Caldwell
Key Returners: OH/RS Lauren Corby, S Katy Hufnagel, OH Natalie Gibbs, DS/L Courtney Brand, DS/L Jade Sanlin
Preseason Prediction: 3rd in Conference (138 pts) Season Outlook: On the heels of another division title, Texas Southern enters 2016 looking to kick the door down. The Tigers did lose two of their top hitters, but set to lead the way is Kali Fluke was second in the league with 333 kills, 133 blocks and 436 total points. Along with Audriana Carson and Nicole Robinson, the trio – at least on paper – looks like it should be one of the most effective two-way front lines in the league.
Preseason Prediction: 7th in Conference (62 pts) Season Outlook: With only one senior aboard for the 2016 slate, the Lady Lions of Arkansas-Pine Bluff will need to grow up fast in hopes of contending within the SWAC. Lauren Corby is the team’s top returning attacker, and Katy Hufnagel, should be a steady presence at the setter spot. The need for a secondary hitter to emerge is paramount for the team. Sophomore Natalie Gibbs looks like the leading candidate for a leap forward. The recruiting class brings much-needed height and length.
